Comment on why are fitness weights filled with sand?
XeroxCool@lemmy.world 12 hours agoAre they commonly out there with elad and tungsten? Lead is cheap and super heavy so it makes sense for a sales perspective, but I guess I’d naively believe they’d be a toxic tangle companies wouldn’t want to be part of given how stele is good enough. Tungsten, on the other hand, is certainly heavy, but I’d guess the value of the material and the difficulty of machining it would preclude it from a sales sense.

Dive weights and belts are generally Lead and I have seen them used in other applications too. if you search for steel ones they come up on Amazon and other sites.
